"this man was a literature professor at UW and had his own fruits and vegetables growing in Seattle way before anyone in my family thought of living there. an Italian after my own heart. and his book could have been written yesterday, for its focus on quality, seasonal, local (as in, your backyard), resourceful eating. There's been something really wrong with the American relationship to food for a long long time, and he was decades ahead of the curve in pointing it out. food is joyful, and should be shared. pass it on. thank you Kesa!"
"Although somewhat dated, many of the observations are timeless. Angelo relates how growing your own food and preparing it and serving it in good company can contribute to the good life."
"chapter one is some of the best food writing i've ever read. i suspect that any foodie out there believes in the mystique of italy, and pellegrini understands this.
i like reading authors who have strong but harmless opinions, and food opinions are almost always of that sort."
